LeAnne 04:33
Sitting in your first floor bedsit Dreaming of the time when you'd be free A beautiful prisoner practising the perfect pout I saw you scheming Planning your way to that longed-for fantasy And you will fight your way to fame I have no doubt Taking the world by storm Making it sit up and beg But leaving me all forlorn LeAnne - Like a beacon in the night LeAnne - Like a flash of blinding light The impact on my optic nerve Was like facing a Sharapova serve The beauty and the pain I’ll never be the same again You shut me out Don't listen to a thing I have to say You have your mentor whispering his poison in your ear I tried to tell you, he's thinking for himself and not for you But you're so focused on the prize that you don't hear me Begging you not be cruel Shouting as loud as I can Declaring my love for you Oh LeAnne - I know you're leaving me for good Oh LeAnne - I just wish you understood How many times you've knocked me dead With just one shake of that perfect head No matter what you do I’ll always be in love with you Please take me with you when you fly I'll keep your secrets till I die You'll need someone to care for you And do the things that you can't do And you'll need me on your way back down You'll need me on your way back down Oh LeAnne - I know you're leaving me for good LeAnne - I just wish you understood How many times you've knocked me dead With just one shake of that perfect head No matter what you do I’ll always be in love with you

Razor-sharp tongue, straight through my heart Broken glass like a shattered dream She turned to go, a tear running down I took her hand in mine and closed my eyes A mesmerising dream with complicated rules Lost in the maze I forgot to play the fool If that was plan A you need a plan B You're dreaming your whole life away is what she said to me The dust in the hall scatters the sun Open door telling her this life is done A mesmerising game of make believe Lost in a dream I forgot to play the fool You said we would dance by a baobab tree And swim with the dolphins and whales off Tiree Walk on the beach make a wish on each wave But you took all those wishes and threw them away And now It's another blue day You said we would trek through wilds of Brazil Watch the sun rise over Solsbury Hill Then watch it set over Botany Bay But you took all those dreams and you threw them away And now It's just another blue day

Beach Bum 03:47
Two days to heaven, that’s all it is Two days to heaven, bliss is bliss is bliss Taking no baggage I’m travelling light Just me and my speedos posing in the moonlight I’m a beach bum – Way Hay Hay I’m a beach bum – day to day Lazy days lost in the haze Taking it easy in a hundred different ways Sip a Corona, watch the world go by Taking my cue from the big ball in the sky Chorus There’s a bleached blond babe in my field of view She’s wearing so little she might as well be nude Checking out the surfers and they’re watching her Showing off their moves, cutting through the surf

I'm feeling down and I don't know why Spring is in the air sun is in the sky And all around are couples holding hands Doing things that lovers do Maybe that's why I'm still missing you I've got places to go I've got people to see But when I get home at night there's just little old me I wander round these empty rooms Try to think of things to do And all the while I'm still missing you When I called you up on your birthday It was just to say hello But you were getting ready And you didn't want to know So I said goodbye, enjoy your day And if you tell me that you're happy I'll be on my way But if you find sorrow in his arms You know what you should do Come back to me 'cause I'm still missing you. Come back to me 'cause I'm still missing you

Do It Now 05:54
Don’t waste your time waiting for the right time Just stop her on sight and improvise Take your chances when they arise Eyes on the prize Do something about it don’t sit there and cry Don’t sit there thinking ‘bout what might have been Or life will pass you by… Do it now - Don’t wait for the next millennium Do it now - Don’t wait for permission to playeee Do it now - Don’t wait for your inspiration Do it now - Before you meet your maker Don’t waste your time in reminiscing There’s too much to do too much to see You can’t rewind and live it again So live it now Do something about it don’t sit there and cry Don’t sit there thinking ‘bout what might have been Or life will pass you by… Do it now - Don’t wait for the next millennium Do it now - No fear – No hesitation Do it now - Don’t wait for your inspiration Do it now - Before you meet your maker Do something about it don’t sit there and cry Don’t sit there thinking ‘bout what might have been Or life will pass you by… Do it now

Talk To Me 03:17
Talk to me, what's on your mind What are your thoughts today It may be late but we've got all the time we need We can sort this out before I have to leave I know the world can be a lonely place When there's no one else to take his place But given time I know that these wounds will heal Believe me, I know how you feel And when your demons call don't let them in Don't listen to a word they say Pick up the phone and call me Any time, night or day And talk to me Pour out your heart, this is no time to be shy I care for you and I don't like to see you cry So wipe your eyes and tell me who and why I know the world may seem a lonely place But I'm here to prove that's not the case And given time I know that these wounds will heal Believe me, I know how you feel Believe me, I know how you feel So --- talk to me

Finally You're Mine Last night I held you in my arms Calmed your troubled heart Extracted your confession By promising we'd never be apart And now Unbuttoned and defenceless Stripped of all pretences You are mine Finally you're mine Please Forgive me if I sinned I only meant to save you From unhappy introspection Believe me when I say that I'll be true And now Unbuttoned and defenceless You overwhelm my senses And you are mine Finally you're mine Please don't lie Don't lie there silently Tell me was I wrong or was I right Did I read the signs correctly Or are you wishing you were somewhere else tonight Wait The smile took time to come But now it's in your eyes Relief can be infectious I hope this is the end of our goodbyes And now Lying here beside me A picture of perfection Approaching the divine Finally you're mine

The magic of the past beams out of every lighted window I stop to smell the perfume of the garden fires Then walk on by, kick the leaves up off the street And remember back to how it used to be When it was tea and toast at five when hunger calls And darkness falls Doctor Who and football scores Led Zeppelin and The Doors These are the days, the days when I remember When I think of those things we used to do In the days of independance When there really was nothing else to do But live your life for today With never a thought for the day when we'd be old and grey I remember the impatience, the tense anticipation Waiting for the conkers to fall Now the health and safety paranoid officials Are telling us to ban them from our schools So they lie split open and neglected on the lawn All forlorn Polished brown like wooden jewels Victims of this mania for rules The clubber girls are waiting for the bus in slips of nothing Oblivious to the chill in the air, It’s not fair I used to be like them, dancing till the small hours Now I'm nodding off by half past ten I sing “Don’t you want me baby” and they say no You’re far too old But they say it with a smile And that cheers me for a while But I can still remember All those things that I used to do with you In the days of no dependants When there really was nothing else to do But live your life for today With never a thought for the day when we'd be old and grey

So don’t forget the pretty Poles Those Russian girls, those gangster’s molls Checking out the chicks from Prague Into art nouveau and avantgarde Moody maidens from Munchen Bauhaus designer function Monaco princesses designer dresses Bella Milanese driving me crazy Les demoiselles at Courchevel Or on a yacht at La Rochelle La dulce vida, Senorita Spanish sisters la Buena vista I can’t forget the chic Belgique The look, the style, the cool mystique The feisty Danes are never plain And the Dutch are way too much… Just too much…they’re just too much The Dutch are just too much European Girls Montenegro black mountain state Girls that make you anticipate Lichenstein, it’s only small The girls from here will make you fall Bosnia Herzegovina A girl called Lola, have you seen her San Marino has got some chicks That make you wanna lick your lips Frosty blond from Bratislava Sparkling eyes and a glass of cava Icy Maidens from Norway Framed in the doorway,going your way? Venetian Venus big on devotion Bridge of Sighs and sinking emotion Swedish cutie Nordic beauty And the Dutch are just too much Just too much…Ah Yeah The Dutch are just too much European Girls
